 # Notes for contributors
 
-1. Python hooks are supported now too. All you have to do is:
-    1. add a line to the `console_scripts` array in `entry_points` in `setup.py`
-    2. Put your python script in the `pre_commit_hooks` folder

+1. [Install `tox`](https://tox.wiki/en/stable/installation.html)
+2. To run tests, run:
+
+    ```bash
+    tox -qq
+    ```
+
+    The easiest way to find out what parts of the code base are left uncovered, is to copy-paste and run the `python3 ...` command that will open the HTML report, so you can inspect it visually.
+
+3. Before committing any changes (if you do not have `pre-commit` installed locally), run:
+
+    ```bash
+    tox r -qq -e pre-commit
+    ```
+
+    Make sure that all checks pass.
+
+4. (Optional): If you want to limit the checks to MyPy only, you can run:
+
+    ```bash
+    tox r -qq -e pre-commit -- mypy --all-files
+    ```
+
+    Then copy-paste and run the `python3 ...` commands to inspect the strictest MyPy coverage reports visually.
+
+5. (Optional): You can find all available `tox` environments by running:
+
+    ```bash
+    tox list
+    ```
